    what kinda work are you tlaking about, sorry if it sounds thick, but what would you do for a marketing agency to earn £50 a day?

    I relaly need to get a part time job, working in a library at the moment(not many hours though, i will find it hard to adjust to working more than the odd shift a week and saturdays), maybe i can get a similar position at Leeds Library :confused: , otherwise its supermarket shelf stacking and till work for me, not going to be too fussy, thats just pointless! although I may have to draw the line at macdonalds, I would hate to work there, it woudl be worse than being a cleaner in a primary school which was my last summer job :rofl:
    ewww at the memories :eek:

    its only hmm 20mins or so maybe less on the train form Leeds to Braddy, so in theory i can keep my Job here and commute at weekends and the odd weekday, timetable permitting....

    I know it sounds to good to be true but I have applied to a few firms, one called ARC uk and they do seem genuine enough, companies contact the agency for them to promote their (the companies' product) it could be handing out samples in supermarkets or perfume samples in Debenhams etc. etc. or demonstrating how the diy digital camera stands work in Boots. It could involve leafleting, demonstrating, mystery shopping (my personal favourite) and so on. Besides although £50 sounds a lot per day when you consider the average wage, for students in Leeds, is around £6, allegedly, then you could soon earn £50-£60 in a day, depending on how hard you want to work of course

    It would depend what company had contacted the agency, if you go to the website www.employment4students.co.uk and put in for a Leeds search of jobs then there's vaccancies and adverts of companies recruiting for marketing, (or there was the last time I looked), you submit your CV and then they contact you/put you on their database, demonstrating was just an example of the kind of work you could be asjed to do on behalf of a company who employed the agency for people to promote their product. Hope this helps?
